September is here and it already feels like fall is on the way in with cooler temperatures. You’ll find some Asian pears in your box this week, a special treat to be enjoyed this time of year, they are very juicy, have the great taste of a pear, and the crisp texture (and shape!) of an apple. These pears are great for snacking and baking, and will keep for quite a while if you take care with gentle handling to keep the skin intact and unblemished. They are a great source of Vitamin C and fiber – if you need some ideas, try one of these great recipes!

As we see kids get ready and go back to school, and the heat of summer begins to fade, we relish in the amazing share we get to enjoy this week. Just in time for all of your Labor Day Picnics, we have all the ingredients you’ll need to make salads, slaws and savory roasted dishes.

Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes!! Be sure you are getting all you can out of the amazing crop of tomatoes, we’ll be dreamily wishing for them come winter, so don’t let them go to waste. We hope you have tried some of your french filet string beans raw — when they are fresh, nothing can compare!
